Ecogear Fish of the Month Comp...

[Bream Master]

OK...OK...

Enough emails asking for the fish of the week to come back. Tony (Mad Fisho) at Ecogear has donated some great ecogear products to temp me to bring the comp back.

Rather than have fish of the week though, I'm going to run fish of the month. This way, we'll pick three pic's and get you guys to vote on which one you want to win. Each of the three pics chosen will win a pack of Ecogear, and the monthly winner will pick up a prize pack which will consist of some awesome Ecogear products like Waist Packs, Caps and more Lures etc.

This thread will be the opening comp, so start posting your pic's. Remember to keep them no larger than 500x500 pixels. We'll pick the three best pic's after two weeks and then hold a poll for the following two weeks to decide the winner.

Thanks again to Tony for his sponsorship of this great comp.

Cheers

Warren.:p

Couple of quick questions. Does the photo have to contain yourself or just the fish? And does the fish have to be caught in that month or just wenever the picture is posted?

Grant

[Bream Master]

We just want to see good Bream Grant. It can have you in the picture, and you can have taken it whenever you like. It can only win once.

Bream caught on Halco Scorpion 52 gold/orange caught 1.5meters from the shore.

This one's got abit of a story to it.....I'll try and keep it short

Twas Sunday, Feb 16th & me and Skivv's went for a late afternoon flick which started off bad with lightning, thunder & rain starting about 15-20 minutes after we started breamin so we ended up going back to the car and looking for a spot to park on the other side of our current location....after finding parking we waited another 15-20 minutes for the rain to ease a bit and when we ventured down we only took our rods and what ever lures were attached, cause it still looked like it was going to bucket down at any time.

We hadn't been fishing long when I hooked up to this beauty......I knew I was on to a good fish, but I couldn't get Skivv's attention(he was spinning out trying some spotters and seeing fish further up) eventually I got his attention and he raced over.....when he grabbed it for me I said I would have to race to the car and get the camera.....so I had to bolt there and back....a good few hundred meters and by the time I got back Skivv's was already in the water ready to revive the poor ol' bugga.

I was stoked to see that and said "mate you grab the fish and I'll snap a couple quick one's so we can get him back in quickly"...didn't take too long to revive and he was off swimming again.

One thing I did notice is that in the pic his tail is quite bent unfortunatley it really doens't show it's true size but it was
48cm and was caught on a BR pattern Oar-G Lil' Ripper.
Don't know what it weighed tho.
A great birthday pressie and is my PB.

Thanks for the editing Richo. :D :p

Cheers,
Davo

[pete s]

heres my 2 cents worth. docklands bream of 42cm fork length. caught on a pumpkinseed fina s worm. full of roe, so she was pretty weighty. :) :)

its a daiwa emblem s 2000 reel as a size comparison and the pic was taken with a kodak outdoor disposable camera :rolleyes:

[SWANK-E]

i vote for grant's 'EVIL BREAM' and dave's 'MICRO BREAM'

though i have to say i beat you dave with the 'MICRO FLATHEAD' with a giant lure.

[Dave W]

lol..... anyone know how old a Flathead that size would be? Are we talking weeks or months?

[Richo]

Thats a nice fish at 48cm davo, a couple of those this weekend will do nicely.;)

[Nick Cuccovia]

Here's my entry, This one was caught at Albany on a prefish.
Nick

[Bear]

How about this guys. 1.44kg of Blackie at the Kalgan last year :D

[breamdude]

Heres my pride and joy:- a 48cm monster caught up north coast a couple years back.. there is a story (which includes me going into the drink) but this is a PHOTO comp..

I love this pic as it shows the whole stretch of my fav. water:

[breamdude]

heres a closer look as my cuz fought off the interested party:

[breamdude]

heres my other cuz (same stretch of water) with his first stud sandflat bream, a 36cm model:-

[Mischievious]

Here's my pic :D

Here's my biggest so far on any artificials.
Dunno the length but it weighed 1.85kg
It was caught on a red/white 2" twin tail.

Nice flare behind your pic.
It seems a lot of guys are fiddling with picks recently. Either hiding something or just making a pic more attractive. Could be the winning Edge!!!:D


Dave

Thankx kingpin
but that wasn't my intention though. I was playing around with photoshop to make it lighter, as the pic was very dark. If anybody can help, I'll apreciate it very much as I don't want to ruin the pic.
Here's the original:

[Bear]

Mate,
Send me a copy of the original pic.

bear@fishingwa.com

and I'll touch it up for you.

Thanks Bear

I'll send it ASAP

[Richo]

As Ive never been personally introduced to a Bream over 41cm, I really have nothing to offer this comp for now, gotts find 45 odd, to even get a mention these days.... Although can we make it 4 or 5 choices as there were 2 more Id like to add. Bears and Bassifers, both nice fish.... maybe even camera work etc will come into the overall decision.

cheers

richo,

Cant wait to see pics of the 50cm+ Ira caught on the last week.

My picks go like this,

Dave

[Bream Master]

We're picking three pics to go into the fish of the month comp tomorrow night guys, get you votes in for which three your think should fight it out.

Warren.

Warren am I allowed to enter fish of the month?

Yeah warren, if Ira entres, he gets one of my votes., Can i have four, as i dont want to upset anyone by changing my three after already posting them, but if ira enters the pics i think he's going to, than he gets a vote from me!


dave

[nifty13]

I would like to vote but most of the postings are coming out without any pic, I don't know why, some of them are ok but most only have a small square with a cross in, can't work out why at the moment...:(

[nifty13]

All is ok now, my votes are
Davo
Bear
Matt

You can, but it may be a wasted opportunity as the votes for the top 3 are being counted tomorrow night (Friday). Hold it off for next month cause I've seen the pic and it should be in the running.

Warren.:p

[Bassifier]

[Davo]

I'll go with

Matt
AtomicGrant's Mugshot
